Got charged above MRP on Swiggy Instamart… and support admitted it was their “catalog error.”
Ordered Amul Masti Dahi. Charged price: ₹42 Printed MRP on product received: ₹35
I contacted support with photos immediately.
What followed:
- ~50 minutes of back-and-forth
- repeated scripted apologies
- no straight answer initially
- finally they admitted in chat it was a catalog error from their side
- offered ₹7 refund
Honestly, ₹7 isn’t the issue.
The issue is:
- How many customers were charged wrong due to this listing?
- Will they automatically refund everyone affected?
- Why does it take nearly an hour to resolve something obvious with proof?
If a packaged item has printed MRP ₹35, how is ₹42 being charged in the app?
Has anyone else faced overcharging / wrong pricing on Instamart, Blinkit, Zepto etc?
I’m considering filing a consumer complaint—not for ₹7, but for pricing transparency and accountability.
Would you escalate this or let it go?
